Repeats, Rests, and Other Counting-Related Symbols

There are a variety of standard notations, which can be grouped under the loose rubric of “counting-related symbols,” that current versions of MuseScore cannot create. Among these are old-style multimeasure rests (MuseScore currently only supports the H-bar style), the symbol to repeat the previous two measures (or to repeat the previous four measures or n measures), and automatic numbering when the same measure is repeated multiple times. This project would implement all of these loosely related features, with simple user controls for their appearance, along with added and improved appearance controls for the already supported basic H-bar rests. In addition to the notation aspect, the symbols for 2-measure, 4-measure, or n-measure repeats will come with MIDI playback support.
